Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
It has been too long since we posted our news. Last year, with the Coronavirus Pandemic we did not post any news. There was a great deal to celebrate so we apologise for this gap and will back fill it if time allows.
From now on we will ensure we let you know the wonderful things we are doing.
Today we were treated to a special surprise. We were invited to the Oratory School to welcome Prince Edward who was coming to play Real Tennis as part of his fundraising tour for The Duke of Edinburgh's Award. The Prince was charming and took time to speak to everyone.
The children were all perfectly behaved and were so excited. The weather was perfect and we all enjoyed the walk to The Oratory. Our grateful thanks to them for inlcuding us in this exciting venture.
We had a lovely time today with our Christmas Lunch. Thank you to all the staff at Aspens for the lovely turkey, roast potatoes and stuffing, smooth and tasty gravy and lots of veg!
The children had a great time with crackers, party hats and crayons to colour in the table cloth (sorry Mum!)
They sang their hearts out to Christmas Songs before returning back to class later in the afternoon.
It was a truly wonderful event.
This week has been a wonderful week to simply enjoy childhood. We have been treated to four Nativity performances - two from Hornbeam and Beech, with their play "Angel Trouble" and two from Oak class with their "Nativity Story".
The children had so much to learn and they delivered it superbly! Well done to all of them. You were all brilliant.
For us the importance of this Christmas message was put across so well by the children. Christmas is a celebration of a special baby's birthday and we should all look beyond what our appearance may suggest and look at what we are like inside.
Have a peaceful Christmas one and all!
Today year 2 sang for those attending the lunch at Langtree School. They sang beautifully and everyone enjoyed seeing and listening to them. They sang a number of songs from their Nativity performance this week including a beautiful lullaby which is always a treat from small children at Christmas.
They were then treated to some music from Langtree School Orchestra which enabled them to pick out the instruments they have been learning about in their music lessons in class!
We were delighted to meet this beautiful hedgehog today. He came to school via Jane from Cabin; she found him in the sandpit curling up for the winter!
All the children were able to get up close and meet him. He did think about coming out to say 'hello' but he was too sleepy and probably a little worried by all the children.
He has been placed somewhere cosy and safe for the winter. Night-night hedgehog. See you in the spring.
What a fabulous for ramble we had today. We were walking for Children in Need.
KS2 walked 3 miles and KS1 just over a mile. The weather was spectacular. The sky was an amazing peach colour due to the sand particles blown over us by Hurricane Ophelia. It gave an eerie feeling as we walked through the woods.
We didn't see many animals but 200 children out for a walk is not a quiet adventure!
Thank you to everyone who sponsored us - we will let you know the total after Children in Need on November 17th.
